The staple food of diabetic patients is generally rice and flour, but they eat more coarse grains such as oats, grains and corn flour, because these foods contain more inorganic salts and vitamins, and are rich in dietary fiber, which has the function of lowering blood sugar and is conducive to controlling blood sugar.

The diet of diabetic patients should not only control total calories, but also limit sugar and salt, which is difficult to arouse the appetite of diabetic patients, especially children. In view of this, many sweeteners produced in the market, such as stevia, sweet sugar, etc., do not produce calories and do not contain any nutrients.

The first condition for allowing patients to eat fruit is that blood sugar has been basically controlled. You can eat a small amount of oranges, apples, etc. Anyone who eats fruit should reduce the amount of staple food. Patients with unstable condition and uncontrolled blood sugar should abstain from fruits.
